 Abstract

The proposed paper analyses and models potential of low-cost, portable, and energy-efficient computing platforms like Raspberry Pi in addressing real-world challenges in agriculture and food industries. The fruit detection system can be a valuable tool for farmers, food processors, and distributors, contributing to sustainable agriculture and reducing food waste through improved fruit handling and sorting processes. The proposed system leverages computer vision and machine learning techniques to accurately identify and classify fruits in real-time. It can be employed in both indoor and outdoor environments, making it adaptable for different agricultural settings. Furthermore, the real-time capabilities of the Raspberry Pi-based system enable rapid decision-making in crop management and sorting processes, enhancing overall efficiency and productivity. In this paper, we are inspecting the quality of fruits based on size, shape and color. All these algorithms are implemented using Raspberry Pi development board which will become an independent and cost effective system.

Ombudsman in India is Lokpal and Lokayukta. It is actually a statutory body which has been established by Lokpal and Lokayukta Act, 2013. Hence it does not have constitutional status. Lokpal is a statutory body for union whereas Lokayukta is a statutory body for states. They perform the functions of 'Ombudsman' i.e., they inquire into the allegations of corruption of public functionaries and also other matters related to it. Maladministration is considered as the great problem in the present society. It basically hinders the development of the nation, moreover it ruptures the foundation of the nation. Corruption is considered as the root cause of maladministration and a starting point where such thing begins. There are various anticorruption agencies but they are hardly independent. Many of such agencies do not have effective powers but they act like an advisory body and give advices but those advices are not effectively followed or it could also be said as it is rarely followed. In case of modern social welfare state civil servants play a very important role. In modern society public servants not only act as a mere executor of public policy, they also act as an initiator and also formulator of a policy. Public servants give expert advice for good administration, meanwhile they also become a controller of administration. Effective control must be exercised in order to hold them responsible for their acts. Such control mechanism is exercised by few agencies, where Lokpal and Lokayukta are one among such agencies. The article mainly speaks about Lokpal and Lokayukta and its good governance.

ABSTRACT Well defined and futuristic education policy is essential for a country at school and college levels due to the reason that education leads to economic and social progress. Different countries adopt different education systems by considering the tradition and culture and adopt different stages during their life cycle at school and college education levels to make it effective. The National Education Policy 2020 (NEP 2020), which was approved by the Union Cabinet of India on 29 July 2020, outlines the vision of India's new education system. The new policy replaces the previous National Policy on Education, 1986. The policy is a comprehensive framework for elementary education to higher education as well as vocational training in both rural and urban India. The policy aims to transform India's education system by 2021. Shortly after the release of the policy, the government clarified that no one will be forced to study any particular language and that the medium of instruction will not be shifted from English to any regional language. The language policy in NEP is a broad guideline and advisory in nature; and it is up to the states, institutions, and schools to decide on the implementation. Education in India is a Concurrent List subject. Himachal Pradesh has become the first state to implement New Education Policy 2020. The national educational policy should be implemented in all schools over India by 2022. KEYWORDS: Higher Education, National Education Policy 2020, NEP-2020, Overview & Analysis, Implementation Strategies, Approaches, Challenges, Opportunities of NEP 2020.

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: A meta- analysis of the studies available through the Cochrane database and WHO's reproductive health library confirmed that active management of labour was associated with reduced PPH, anaemia and decreased need for Blood Transfusion ,reduced risk of prolonged third stage and less use of addition a uterotonic drugs. Midwives are skilled health care professionals. At this point, it was strongly felt that structured Teaching program will illuminate their minds and improve their knowledge and practice and ultimately to update the current knowledge and practice in this field. METHODS: The study design consisted of one group pre-test and post-test pre experimental research design. Non -probability purposive sampling technique was used for selection of samples. The data was collected from 50 staff nurses working in maternity department of HI-TECH Medical College and Hospital, Bhubaneswar, Khurdha, Odisha using Close ended questionnaire to assess the knowledge and Observational checklist to assess the practices for performing active management of third stage of labor (AMTSL). Post test was conducted after 7 days of administration of STP to know the effectiveness by using the same close ended questionnaire and observational checklist. RESULTS: In pre-test; nurses are having on an average 49.04% of knowledge scores on AMTSL. In post-test after implementation of STP, the staff nurses scored up to 76.25% .In pre-test the practice scores is 39.73% .In post-test, after implementation of STP the nurses have scored 63.47%. The difference of knowledge scores between pre-test and post-test is 10.74 and the difference of practice scores between pre-test and post-test is 5.46.Thepaired't' test was calculated and found that there is a significant difference between pre and post-test knowledge (6.71) and practice scores (5.80) before and after implementation of STP. Karl Pearson's coefficient correlation between knowledge with practice of pre-test(r = .70) and post-test (r=0.76) shows significant relationship, which reveals that when knowledge level increases the practice will also increases. There is association between post-test knowledge and sex of staff nurses and practice is the significant association between areas of working, of staff nurses is calculated by using Chi -square test at 0.05 level of significance. CONCLUSION: The result of the study shows that; there is a great need for the staff nurses, to update their knowledge and practices regarding AMTSL.

Textiles have progressed from being a source of ornamentation to a widespread application. Textiles have gone through a revolution to spread such a broad spectrum. The use of natural fabrics is a solution to the problems arising from the use of natural and synthetic textiles. The toxic substances used to synthesise natural or artificial textiles has adverse effects, such as the consumption of a lot of water and pesticides for their production from their starting stage until the end of the line, which can result in damage to human health, soil, water, air, etc. The use of organic and sustainable fabrics is an environmentally safe solution to compensate for toxic fabrics. This article gives an overview of such silk fabrics namely organic cotton, lotus, and muga silk, and contains the ethnographic study of the same.

 Abstract

This project tackles the issue of tweet sentiment analysis, which involves categorizing tweets into those that indicate good, negative, or neutral mood. Twitter is a social networking and microblogging website that enables users to post 140-character maximum status updates With over 200 million registered users, of which 100 million are active users and half of them log in at least daily, it is a service that is rapidly growing. Each day, it generates approximately 250 million tweets. We intend to reflect the public opinion by assessing the feelings stated in the tweets in light of this significant usage. Numerous applications require the analysis of public mood, including businesses attempting to gauge the market response to their products, the prediction of political outcomes, and the analysis of socioeconomic phenomena like stock exchange. The goal of this project is to create a practical classifier that can accurately and automatically identify the sentiment of an unidentified tweet stream.

 Abstract

One of the most significant theories in the philosophy of human existence is the theory of karma which also causes the most misunderstanding and controversy. Some people think karma is predetermined and that it must be accepted as such. In Buddhism, karma (P?li: kamma) means action with intention (cetan?) manifested through the body, speech, and thoughts. This paper used qualitative literature approaches with textual document analysis and in-depth reading of primary and secondary sources in order to critically examine the Buddhist perspective on determinism and karma theory. Our intentions affect each and every action we take, whether it is good or bad. This means that we are accountable for our behavior. According to the Buddhist perspective on karma, karma can be changed rather than being determined. The law of cause and effect is always in effect, and every person in this world has a different karma. Everything is changeable and not permanent and unchanging because of the impermanence and non-self of all things and phenomena, including karma.

 Abstract

The chase to improve the quality of life has stimulated desirable changes in research to design and develop a new drug and enhance its safety and effectiveness. Thus, there is a gradual rise in demand to develop susceptible and specific analytical techniques for newly developed drugs. Thus, analysts are striving very hard to develop new and efficient analytical methods to achieve these targets. The antiretroviral agents Rilpivirine (RPV) and cabotegravir (CAB) are approved as a combined treatment regimen against human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). This review article represents the collection and discussion of various analytical methods available in the literature for the estimation of the CAB and RPV in pharmaceutical formulations and biological samples consisting of HPLC, UPLC and hyphenated techniques such as LC-MS, LC-MS/MS. Moreover, we discuss about CAB and RPV chemical structure, mechanism of action, activity against drug-sensitive and -resistant HIV, and pharmacodynamics/pharmacokinetics properties. The present review can be effectively explored to conduct future analytical investigation for the estimation of Cabotegravir and Rilpivirine.

 Abstract

The creation of Self-Help Groups (SHGs) has been seen as a crucial tactic in combating the worrying levels of poverty and marginalization that have followed global progress since the United Nations Millennium Declaration of 2000. SHGs are small, voluntary groups of individuals from a similar socioeconomic background that were formed with the intention of resolving common social and economic issues by supporting one another. It has been expected that such grassroots unity will foster communal empowerment and guard against economic exclusion. This presumption is primarily based on the global, neo-liberal agenda, which calls on the State to stop providing for social needs. In India, SHGs are frequently used, particularly to end the social marginalisation of impoverished women and increase their access to healthcare. With an emphasis on its implementation in the Indian State of Maharashtra, this article examines the potential and constraints of SHGs in enhancing women's health. By examining the vital roles of caste and class in access to health care, it critically evaluates the extent to which SHGs may be involved in achieving improved health for women and children. The article's conclusion is that international policy circles' solutions like SHGs fail to recognize local structural contexts like caste and class, leading to the development of instrumental zed strategies that are unlikely to result in the equitable delivery of health services to the underprivileged and marginalized.

 Abstract

There are five sense organs i.e. eye, ear, nose, tongue and skin. Among these sense organs, Ayurveda gives prime importance to the eye. It says "Sarvendriyaanam Nayanam Pradhanam". the condition free from any disease or deformity is known as Swastha. The regimen followed to maintain health is called Swasthavritta. the majority of people only pay attention to their eyes if they are experiencing eye problems. However, the amount of time spent watching TV, reading, writing, using a computer, or using a multimedia device takes its toll. impacts on eye health. Another factor contributing to the decline of eye health is working in artificial light (either strong or low light). 14 out of 100 Indian schoolchildren older than seven years who are screened are likely to require glasses. In Ayurveda, certain traditional daily practises, such as Netraprakshalna (eye washing), Anjana (Collyrium), Snana (Bathing), Padabhyanga (oil-based foot massage), Nasya (medicine application through the nose), Dhumapana, Netra Vyayamas (Trataka, Nidra(sleep), Dinacharya (Daily regimen) explained in Ayurveda helps to prevent many derangements.

 Abstract

This paper addresses a variety of topics relating to kid rag pickers. 80% of these individuals are between the ages of 11 and 15 years old, 74% are illiterate, and 85% are oppressed. A little more than 68% of kid rag pickers earn less than Rs. 11,000 per year. 90% of child rag pickers collect trash while walking, with 74% of their spending going towards medical costs. 85% of children who pick up trash are at risk for health problems, and 98% of the trash they collect is made up of plastics, glass bottles, cardboard, papers, tin, iron, copper, and aluminium. These trash items can be found in residential areas, on street corners, or in landfills. 94% of respondents agreed that rag-picking was not a respectable work in society, while 82% of respondents believed that they were exposed to health risks and frequently suffered from rashes and cuts. The study looks at how child rag picking in big towns is mostly brought on by poverty, unemployment, and poor economic conditions. Hence, the social development model is the sole option for ending the problem of child labour and rag picking. The development strategy for the less wealthy areas must put a strong emphasis on the implementation of mandated health, education, and skill-development programmes.

Kapardika is a mineral drug of Sadharana rasa varga. It is the outer shell of molluscs. It is known as Marine shell, cowrie or cowry. The shells are smooth, shiny, resembling egg shape with a flat under surface having a slit-like long, narrow-toothed aperture. They have a porcelain-like shine. The length ranges from 5 mm to 19 cm for some species. Kapardika is Katu in Rasa, Katu in Vipaka and Ushna in Virya. It is Alkaline in nature hence is used in many diseases like APD (Acid Peptic disease), Ajirna, Adhmana, Anaha etc. There are many methods in the texts to convert Kapardika in Kapardika Bhasma with different types of Puta. Rasa Chandanshu mentioned a very easy method for making Kapardika Bhasma.This method is easy to perform and prepares good quality Kapardika Bhasma. An effort was made here to standardise the procedure of preparation of Kapardika Bhasma according to the method described in Rasachandanshu. Also, the prepared Bhasma was tested with the modern methods and equipment like XRF etc. It shows increase in calcium content and decrease in other contents and the mean loss in the process was 16%. The results help in scientifically establishing the findings according to the principle of Ayurveda.

BACKGROUND: Shoulder pain is a common presenting complaint for patients of all ages and activity levels. Shoulder impingement accounts for 44-65% of shoulder complaints. The shoulder impingement syndrome (SIS) consists of the rotator cuff tendonitis and bursitis of the shoulder. It shows the inflammation of the supraspinatus tendon inside the antero-inferior junction of the acromian process and the greater tuberosity of the humerus. It can affect the various age groups. It can affect both the genders. Purpose of this study is to find out the prevalence of shoulder impingement syndrome in different age groups. Other purpose of this study is to find out the prevalence among both the genders. So, based on that therapist can plan the treatment according to different gender and age specific functional requirements of the patients. OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to determine the prevalence of shoulder impingement syndrome among males and females as well as among different age groups. METHODS: In the present cross sectional study, total seventy-nine (79) Gujarati patients with shoulder impingement syndrome with age between 18-65 years were included. They were divided in to 5 different age groups. According to those age groups, prevalence for each group was calculated. RESULT: The study included 79 patients with the age between 18 to 65 years. Out of total 79 patients, 3 were of the age group 15-25 years, 23 were of the age group 26-35 years, 17 were of the age group 36-45 years, 15 were of the age 46-55 and 21 were of age group 56-65 years. Thus, it contributes to 4%, 29%, 21%, 19% and 27% to our total patient population respectively. This study also concludes that prevalence among males and females is 57% and 34% respectively. CONCLUSION: Present study concludes that shoulder impingement is more common primarily among 26-35 years of the age and secondarily 56 to 65 years of the age. It also concludes that shoulder impingement is more common in males compare to females.

 Abstract

In present era, metabolic disorders are a global medical health problem and obesity is the most common among them. Ayurveda explains metabolic disorders as Agnivaishamya (Improper digestion & absorption). Agni is responsible for the conversion of Ahara into energy. Faulty diet and life style is the chief culprit for disruption of metabolism. Meda Dhatu is very important as it plays a significant role in developing various metabolic disorders like Obesity which is already mentioned in Ayurveda as Sthaulya/Medoroga. The disturbance in Medo Dhatu metabolism is very common in present era because of increased consumption of junk foods, carbonated beverages, sweets associated with westernization. Growing prevalence of obesity worldwide is an increasing concern surrounding the rising rates of Diabetes, Coronary and Cerebrovascular disease with the consequent health and financial implications for the population. Some conditions are life threatening in the later stage/ uncontrol condition.
